Chapter 561 She ran away!
Gan Fu and Eunuch Chang were guarding outside the imperial study.
Through the door, they could clearly hear the noise coming from inside the room.
Both of them remained silent, their faces covered in cold sweat.
At this moment, they just wished they were deaf, heard nothing, and knew nothing.
As for the guards who were supposed to be guarding outside the imperial study, they had already been driven away by Gan Fu.
There was a crisp clang sound.
It was like something fell to the ground.
Then the emperor let out an angry roar.
"Get out! Get out of here!"
The door of the imperial study was opened, and the prince staggered out. There was a cut on his forehead, and blood was oozing out and flowing down his temple. Combined with his bloodless face, he looked particularly creepy.
Eunuch Chang was frightened and quickly took out a handkerchief to help him wipe the blood.
The prince pushed his hand away.
Eunuch Chang said anxiously, "Your Highness, I will go and get you a royal physician right away."
Luo Qinghan said in a hoarse voice, "No."
Gan Fu looked cautiously into the imperial study.
He saw a picture of thousands of horses and a piece of cloth on the ground, as well as a broken white jade paperweight.
The crisp sound they heard just now should be the sound of the paperweight falling to the ground.
As for the wound on the prince's forehead, it was probably caused by the paperweight.
The emperor stood in the imperial study, his face flushed with anger, his expression a little distorted, and his breathing a little rapid.
Gan Fu was startled.
He had served the emperor for decades and had never seen the emperor so angry.
He hesitated, but still moved in carefully.
"Your Majesty, calm down and don't let your anger get you in trouble."
The emperor didn't even look at him and shouted directly in the direction where the prince left.
"Send this rebellious son to the imperial mausoleum!"
Gan Fu's face changed drastically, and he wanted to persuade the emperor to think twice.
The crown prince is different from ordinary princes, his identity is extraordinary. If he just has a private quarrel with the emperor, it is nothing, but if the crown prince is sent to the imperial mausoleum and imprisoned, it will be no trivial matter, and both the former court and the harem will be alarmed.
"Your Majesty, you..."
Gan Fu had only said three words when he was rudely interrupted by the emperor.
"If any of you dare to plead for him, you will go to the Imperial Mausoleum with him!"
Gan Fu could only give up the idea of begging for mercy, walked out the door, called the commander of the imperial guards, and passed on the emperor's order.
The commander of the imperial guards was a smart man. After receiving the order, he took the imperial guards to the Eastern Palace without asking any questions.
At this time, the prince had already returned to the East Palace.
He went straight to Qingge Palace.
He wanted to find Xiao Xixi.
But Xiao Xixi was not in Qingge Palace at all. Upon asking, they found out that Xiao Xixi had never come back since she went to Changle Palace, and even Baoqin was nowhere to be seen.
Luo Qinghan stood there in a daze.
Why didn’t Xiao Xixi come back?
Did she meet with any accident?
He was just about to send someone to track down Xiao Xixi's whereabouts when he saw Eunuch Chang running in hurriedly.
"Your Highness, the Royal Guards have surrounded Qingge Palace!"
As soon as Eunuch Chang finished speaking, the commander of the imperial guards strode in.
He bowed to the prince and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor has ordered you to go to the Imperial Mausoleum to reflect on your mistakes. I will escort you to the Imperial Mausoleum. Please set off immediately."
Luo Qinghan looked at him expressionlessly.
The commander of the imperial guards repeated: "Your Highness, please set off immediately!"
Eunuch Chang: "General, there is nothing at the Imperial Mausoleum. We need to pack our luggage before we can set off."
The commander of the imperial guards glanced at him and said, "The emperor has ordered that only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can go to the imperial mausoleum to reflect on his actions."
Eunuch Chang's face changed. "You mean, only the prince can go to the imperial mausoleum? How can this be possible? The prince is a precious person, how can he be left alone to take care of him?!"
The commander of the imperial guards said: "This is the emperor's will. I am just following his orders."
Eunuch Chang was speechless.
He turned his head to look at the prince, but saw that there was still no expression on the prince's face, as if he didn't care about anything.
Luo Qinghan said in a hoarse voice: "After I leave, I'll trouble you to help take care of the East Palace, as well as Concubine Xiao..."
Eunuch Chang hurriedly said, "I understand. I will do my best to search for Concubine Xiao's whereabouts!"
Luo Qinghan nodded and said nothing more.
He left the palace in a carriage escorted by the Guards.
…
At noon, a servant pushed open the door and walked in carrying a food box.
After he entered the room, the door was immediately closed by someone outside.
The servant put the food box on the table, looked around and found that there was no one in the room.
His heart skipped a beat. Why did Concubine Xiao disappear?
He quickly searched all the places in the house where people could hide, but still couldn't find Concubine Xiao.
The servant hurried to the door and knocked hard.
"Open the door!"
The door was opened from the outside. The two guards standing at the door saw the servant looking flustered, and one of them asked.
"What happened?"
The servant pointed to the room behind him and shouted in panic, "Concubine Xiao is gone! She ran away!"
The two guards said in unison.
"impossible!"
They had been guarding the door, and the door was locked from the outside. There were also people guarding the window, and there had never been any unusual movement. Not to mention a living person escaping, not even a fly could escape from this room!
The servant said anxiously, "I'm serious. If you don't believe me, come in and take a look!"
The two guards felt a little uneasy when they saw that he did not look fake.
They walked into the house one after another and found that it was really empty. Concubine Xiao really disappeared!
The two guards immediately panicked.
They were ordered to guard Concubine Xiao. If Concubine Xiao ran away, they would definitely be held accountable!
The servant said, "Look around here for a while, I'll go and inform the prince."
After saying this, he ran out in a hurry without waiting for the guards to react.
The two guards prepared to search the house again to see if they could find any clues.
Just then, a figure floated down from the beam.
The moment Xiao Xixi landed on the ground, she hit a guard hard on the back of his neck!
The guard was knocked unconscious before he could even react.
When another guard saw this, his face changed drastically and he drew his sword to chop at her!
Xiao Xixi dodged sideways and quickly rushed forward to fight him in close combat.
With just two moves, she knocked the opponent to the ground, and he could never get up again.
…
In the tea room, the aroma of tea wafts through the air.
King Xiling and Qin Zhong sat opposite each other, and the two were discussing their next plan.
Manager Fang knelt behind King Xiling and listened quietly without saying a word.
Xie Chuxue poured the cooked hot tea into cups and pushed them in front of King Xiling and Qin Zhong respectively.
Qin Zhong was very proud and satisfied: "Just now, news came from the palace that the prince and the emperor had a big quarrel, and the emperor sent the prince to the imperial mausoleum. The prince is really a wise man. The prince has already determined that the emperor is his enemy. The two have completely torn their faces apart. We can move on to the second step of our plan."
…
As I said, don’t guess the plot blindly, otherwise you will get embarrassed.
Also, happy Children's Day to all the girls!
I hope that Jimei will always keep a childlike heart and be a happy, carefree child.
It’s a new month, and the girls should have monthly tickets in their hands again, right?
Look at my eager eyes~
